Elected officials step up to bat for facility process RICHARD ROLKE Morning Star Staff

Politicians are not willing to sit on the sidelines while a new sports facility is constructed. The Greater Vernon Advisory Committee will have four elected officials oversee development of the track and sports fields at Okanagan College Mike Macnabb although administration had recommended a structure dominated by staff and user

groups. “We want to be proactive, not reactive,” said Mike Macnabb, GVAC chairperson, Thursday. “If we own this, we own it.” Director Jim Garlick points out that a subcommittee representing the four jurisdictions led construction of Wesbild Centre and the Performing Arts Centre. “Ultimate responsibility lands on the elected representatives,” he said. However, Trafford Hall, Regional District of North Okanagan administrator, expressed some reluctance because he has only been involved in processes where staff pursue design and contractors. “We’re politicizing the purchasing project,”

he said. However, it was pointed out that beyond Wesbild Centre and the Performing Arts Centre, political oversight was used for Coldstream’s fire halls and public works building, as well as Okanagan Regional Library’s Vernon branch. “We’re not reinventing the wheel. It’s been done before,” said Garlick. Support came from Doug Dirk, a Coldstream councillor who was at the GVAC meeting. “The people who will wear it are the people sitting around this table,” said Dirk. The goal is to ensure that user groups have a facility that meets their needs while the

public knows the $7.5 million borrowed was spent efficiently. “This (sports facility) is a little more public sensitive than a water treatment plant,” said Dirk of the project’s high profile. While politicians will take the lead, user groups and staff will play a role in the process, including design. “It’s working in parallel with staff,” said Garlick. The four-person construction management committee will not have ultimate authority. “That committee will not make final decisions. GVAC will make final decisions,” said director Rob Sawatzky.

Dix says he’s keeping campaign clean richard rolke Morning Star Staff

NDP leader Adrian Dix insists he isn’t getting negative. While polls indicate the Liberals have narrowed the gap with his party, Dix says he hasn’t changed his campaign strategy, which is to be positive. “We’re focusing on issues that matter to people,” he said during a visit to Vernon Wednesday. However, he says it’s not negative to point out the Liberals’ track record as government. “They claim they are balancing the budget but they are running a major deficit,” he said. “They said they have come clean and are responsible, but there’s B.C. Rail, the HST and the multicultural outreach scandal. They never take responsibility.” Flanked by Vernon-Monashee candidate Mark Olsen, Dix spent most of his visit focused on health care and overcrowding at Vernon Jubilee Hospital. “Action needs to be taken,” he said, adding that while the Liberal government has proceeded with completing two shelled-in floors at the hospital, it will only result in 14 net new beds and that is not sufficient. Beyond VJH, he says the NDP would also move ahead with additional home support and long-term care for seniors as a way of easing pressure at the hospital. “We are going to build projects in Vernon.” When asked by the media about how he would pay for capital improvements, Dix stated the funding can be found within existing budgets. “It (top two floors of Polson Tower) is in the current capital plan so we will proceed with that,” he said. “We have a fully costed (election) platform.”

NDP leader Adrian Dix makes a stop in Vernon Wednesday near Vernon Jubilee Hospital and shows his support for Vernon Monashee NDP candidate Mark Olsen. Dix also touched on plans to extend the training tax credit to ensure businesses can access labour. “This announcement will allow for thousands of students to participate in co-op training,” he said.

In terms of the party’s chances in VernonMonashee May 14, Dix says he is confident based on the relationships the party has developed locally. “This constituency represents a lot of what I have tried to do. We have represented

people on the key issues of health care and the economy for years,” he said. “I’ve worked with the people of Vernon to improve health care for years. We will continue to work on that through the election and beyond.”

Lumby residents warned of rising creek levels

richard rolke Morning Star Staff

Things could get a little wet in Lumby. The Regional District of North Okanagan is releasing water from a reservoir and that means the level of Duteau Creek could increase. “We don’t know if it will rise to flood level but there will be a significant rise,” said Helen Sinclair, deputy emergency management co-ordinator. “We are asking people to take the necessary precautions.” RDNO is releasing water from

the Haddo Lake reservoir to meet growing demand from irrigation customers. But not all of that water is required, so it is sent down Duteau Creek. Sandbags are available across from the Lumby Curling Club, across from Sheardown’s Super A Foods and at the bridge beside Faulkner Street. For residents of the electoral area, call 250-550-3700 if flooding occurs. If residents notice culverts are blocked, Sinclair says they should phone Lumby public works or the

Ministry of Transportation (604660-9770) in the rural area. While RDNO is managing the Haddo Lake release, it’s expected melting high elevation snow will start filling all Aberdeen Plateau reservoirs this weekend. Through that natural process, the reservoirs will spill. “We have no control over that and it will go down the creek,” said Zee Marcolin, utility manager. There have been no reports of flooding in the North Okanagan yet, but Sinclair says that could change.

“We have the snowpack and high temperatures and all we are missing is rain,” she said. “There is rain forecast for Sunday and Monday but we’re not sure how much.” Besides Lumby, sandbags are also available at locations in Vernon, Coldstream, Armstrong, Enderby and Spallumcheen. Sinclair insists residents should prepare sandbags and remove items that could be damaged by water especially in areas known to flood. “Don’t be complacent,” she said,

Group pushes for gallery/museum under one roof richard rolke Morning Star Staff

One elected official doubts plans for Greater Vernon’s cultural amenities will be revisited. A group calling itself the Vernon Revitalization Society told the Greater Vernon Advisory Committee Thursday that the art gallery and museum should be constructed together on the Coldstream Hotel site and not separately on other properties. “There is nothing new,” said Rob Sawatzky, a GVAC director, of the society’s proposal. “All of the issues they have raised have been part of considerable analysis. At the request of the art gallery and the museum, that concept has been considered and we’ve gone in a different direction.” The City of Vernon supports a new art gallery on the old flower shop site on 31st Avenue and expanding the current museum to meet demands for additional space. However, culture is a GVAC mandate and there has been no decision on the future of the gallery and the museum. “Until we get the parks, recreation and culture service review completed, nothing will take place,” said Mike Macnabb, chairperson. Macnabb admits he found the society’s plans for the Coldstream Hotel site interesting. “It represents another option and all options should be considered,” he said.

The Vernon Revitalization Society points out that the city purchased the Coldstream Hotel lands for cultural activities. “It will entice tourists to stay in Vernon and spend time enjoying the downtown area,” said spokesperson Holly Baxter of her group’s proposal. The group also envisions the project including retail shops, office and housing. “Having an arts and culture-centred residential complex in Vernon’s city centre will encourage more residents to want to live downtown,” said Baxter. It’s been suggested private interests could pursue the entire development with the city selling the land to cover the costs for the museum and gallery. “This could be a highquality signature development,” said Charles Wills, a retired architect Wills also says the separate concepts for the gallery and museum are inefficient. “Each of these buildings will require an elevator, two sets of stairs, washrooms, foyer and service areas. Such duplication will be hugely wasteful and costly both in a capital expenditure sense and in terms of continuing staff requirements to supervise each additional floor,” he said. The Vernon Public Art Gallery insists it is not pulling away from plans for the flower shop site. “We’re thrilled to see

there is interest in the community for a new gallery and museum,” said Dauna Kennedy Grant, executive director.

“We hope to encourage them (society) to come on board with the current vision.” While the Coldstream

Hotel property is owned by the city, it would have to be purchased by GVAC if a gallery and museum proceeded

there. “It’s an expensive piece of real estate,” she said, adding that city taxpayers have a large invest-

ment in the Coldstream Hotel site. “There would be big losses in the future if it doesn’t go to (commercial) development.”

Conservatives vow to address farm sales richard rolke Morning Star Staff

B.C. Conservatives insist more needs to be done to bring farmers back from the financial brink. Leader John Cummins used a stop in Vernon Wednesday to announce that a Conservative government would issue up to 1,200 class E licenses for farm gate meat processing in the North Okanagan. “It’s time to make life easier not harder for small business,” he said. Cummins says farmers have been devastated by meat regulations that ban farm gate sales and there’s no rationale for the government policy. “I don’t see a safety concern. There is rigorous training and protocols that must be followed,” he said. “The system operated for 100 years and did quite well. If a producer didn’t handle people’s meat well, they wouldn’t stay in business for long.” The Regional District of North Okanagan has blasted the regulations, saying it has forced farmers out of businesses and reduced consumers’ options. In response, the government announced in February that five class E slaughtering licences will be allowed in the North Okanagan as part of a two-year pilot program. Cummins says five licenses is insufficient and he doesn’t believe farm gate sales will undermine licensed

abattoirs. “Their (abattoirs) prime market is exports and with the smaller operations, the focus is local. It’s not a policy that will hurt the large guy.” Another policy issue being promoted by the Conservatives is allowing grocery stores to sell beer and wine. “It’s a matter of convenience (for consumers) and helping small business,” said Cummins. “It’s done in many jurisdictions in North America.” While here, Cummins urged voters to support Vernon-Monashee candidate Scott Anderson and Shuswap candidate Tom Birch. “Polling numbers show a strong Conservative vote in this area. This is real Conservative territory. These ridings are winnable.” Cummins says it’s important to have Conservative MLAs in Victoria no matter whether the Liberals or the NDP form government. “These MLAs will hold the balance of power in a minority government. That will be good for British Columbians,” he said.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong (centre) and his partner Patty Sahota visit Vernon Monashee Liberal candidate Eric Foster Thursday at his campaign office.

Liberals in the game to win roger knox Morning Star Staff

It may not be the best week in B.C. to use a hockey analogy, but Mike de Jong doesn’t mind. The five-term Abbotsford MLA who has served the province as health and finance minister believes his Liberal party has a great team, and is rallying from what he termed “four goals down” entering the “third period” of B.C.’s election campaign. “We’ve made three of those goals up,” said de Jong, in Vernon Thursday morning supporting Vernon-Monashee candidate Eric Foster. “We’re still a goal down but momentum is an important thing and I think we can make up the difference in the last four days. “We’ve got a great team with four strong lines. I hope people will compare our lineup to the talent on the other bench,” a reference to the provincial NDP party. Keeping with the hockey theme, de Jong called Foster a great teammate and said the Liberals have an outstanding playing-coach and captain in Premier Christy Clark. “She is out there articulating in clear unambiguous terms what we stand for, our platform built around job creation and investment, fiscal prudence and a balanced budget, it’s a pretty clear choice,” said de Jong, accompanied to Vernon by his partner, former Liberal MLA Patty Sahota. “I came up today to make sure people understand what a great job Eric has done for the area.

Still spellbound

t was an abysmal occurrence that required some paraphernalia like a dictionary. Our captain, and even the team curmudgeon, showed chutzpah despite our defeat. Yes, it was handled with as much eloquence as possible. Hopefully our relegation to second place was an anomaly, one of those rare events like a leprechaun sighting in Czechoslovakia. But the reminiscence of it all will stay with us forever. We hope for a reconnaissance as we explore our dictionaries to annihilate the competition next year. And we hope to have a more copacetic experience, as we pay allegiance to the written word and not face the Kristin Froneman guillotine once again. For those of you who were not at the annual Adult Spelling Bee Challenge Wednesday morning at the Vernon Lodge, those first few sentences contained 15 words which we, The Morning Star Spelling Starz, were required to spell along with 17 other teams. All for a great cause in support of Junction Literacy and Youth Centre, the annual event had grown men and women dressed in all kinds of crazy costumes (Hippies!, Busy Bees! Graduates!) trying to outdo each other with their spelling proficiency. This year’s words were ones we actually recognized, and some of them were words that I have used before in my stories. But we were under pressure here, so that’s my excuse for getting two of them wrong. And there was no spell check, Oxford dictionary, Google, Canadian Press Caps and Spelling book to refer to, all of which are bibles to today’s journalist. OK, enough excuses. I am happy to report that we did spell 13 words right, including anomaly —mean-

ing a deviation from the common rule, type, arrangement, or form. (It’s no wonder since I cover the arts, and artists are all about deviation from the norm!) The word that stumped us was reconnaissance, and I am loathe to report that my team, including myself, went with one s. As someone who grew up in Quebec, with French as a second language, there’s a swear word that I will not repeat here, but it begins with an m. The other word that got us? Occurrence. Yes, we gave our heads a long, hard shake over that one. Those kids from the film Spellbound would have never spelled that one wrong. Right?! Alas, with those misspelled words The Spelling Starz (that z is intentional!) were once again relegated to the bridesmaid position, tying with three other teams. As the second place finishers last year, we once more fell to last year’s victors, the Okanagan College Eggheads: Darn you, educators! This is all in jest, of course, and we thank our sympathetic friend, Betty Selin of SunFM, for her immense support. The Junction’s Spelling Bee is not about the rivalry between the smartest and studied. Well, maybe a little. What is most rewarding is to hear of the good work the Junction Literacy and Youth Centre does for our community. To list all their accomplishments would take many more words, but to sum up, they are an essential service that provides important life skills to not only underprivileged young people, but to the community as a whole. Just ask the new parents who have received their first baby books from the Junction, or the senior who has received much joy from reading to his/her younger counterpart. The Junction understands that if it wasn’t for words, we’d all be lost. So to them, I will study my Oxford, and work for a much better occurrence next year.

Greater Vernon politicians were right not to leave planning for the sports complex in the hands of regional district staff and user groups. It’s not that civic workers or the sports clubs aren’t capable, but it is the elected officials who are directly accountable to the residents — the ones who are paying for the $7.5 million facility. And if the project goes over budget or doesn’t meet expectations, then it is Greater Vernon Advisory Committee members who will be called on to the carpet. “The people who will wear it are the people sitting around this table,” said Doug Dirk, a Coldstream councillor. It may not be a common process elsewhere, but it is here. A management committee of politicians oversaw construction of Wesbild Centre and the Performing Arts Centre and that structure was also followed for Coldstream’s fire halls and public works building. Politicians also led the development of Vernon’s new library. By playing an active role, those on the management committee can report back directly to other politicians in the region about how construction is proceeding. One can also make the argument that a resident with an idea or concern may find it easier to approach their elected representative than a bureaucrat. Now, of course, the politicians won’t be acting in isolation. GVAC staff will be there to provide expertise on a number of fronts and user groups will provide input on the design. But, in the end, residents were told by the politicians that the project would be a success, so now those officials must live up to their end of the deal.

Tight fiscal management needed

would like to reply to Barry Dorval's recently published letter to the editor. While I applaud Mr. Dorval and his passion for teaching, he is sadly on the wrong track when he implores people to vote for the NDP so they can restore funding for schools and teachers. One of the realities of politics in B.C. is that the electorate seems to swing far left then right. The NDP get into power and spend like the government actually has money. When the electorate wake up and find out that spending has been out of control, the Liberals are elected and have to make drastic cuts to everything to try and get back to some balance. I have been in Vernon for 30-plus years. I have really started to pay attention to the B.C. fiscal situation since I retired. Over the last few changes in government, here are just two issues I have observed. The NDP government under Glen Clark really made headlines by instigating the Victoria Island highway and the fast ferries. The Vancouver Island Highway is still controversial in that it was only union companies could bid for it. The cost of building the highway and the benefits were/are way out of line and we continue to pay for it. The fast ferry fiasco is well known to all taxpayers in B.C. as we are still paying for that $500,000,000 mistake. And that, is just a small sample of where your money

shuswap raCe Given the revelations regarding his involvement in the Old Town Bay project in 2007 one can understand why Mr. Kyllo might be uncomfortable at a forum on the environment. Surely the excuse that he doesn't have time to prepare for forums sponsored by special interest groups does not speak well of his ability to serve as our MLA, nor is it true. He does attend forums sponsored by the chambers of commerce, which are by any meaning of that phrase "special interest groups." howard Brown CoNsider the eCoNomy I’m concerned that many British Columbians are more focused on “change” for the sake of change rather than electing the party most likely to foster job creation and financial stability. Our province’s resource endowment has always been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of revenues needed to fund social programs. From what I have seen and

for schools went. Your brothers and sisters in the other unions got to the trough before you did. You want funding for schools — there isn't any. The Liberals are still trying to balance the budgets from the last NDP fiscal mismanagement. While you are at it, please speak with your local candidate. Mr. Olsen has gone on record saying that the Liberals have ignored our local riding.

heard, an NDP government would rev-up spending while stymieing resource development through endless environmental reviews and or by just saying “no," driving investment to other provinces and other countries. We need new mines and gas fields, pipelines, refineries, ports and processing plants to replace jobs lost by tech change and by events like the pine beetle catastrophe Economic development and the protection of the environment are not mutually exclusive. Yes, we must be good stewards of our beautiful province, but we do have the technology to move the economy forward in an environmentally responsible manner. Saying no to new projects will mean job losses for currently employed and no opportunity for young people looking to join the work force. We also need to focus on balancing the provincial budget, rather than taking money away from social programs to fund rising interest costs.

Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling. It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars in new spending during this campaign, and their “every dollar is accounted for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because their anti-development attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises. There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. The NDP came to power in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade. Investment dried up and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada. A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the B.C. government for driving growth investment in Alberta. Glen Clark’s 1996-1999 tenure was arguably the most disastrous for B.C. and with Adrian Dix, Premier Clark’s former chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself. It took many years for the Liberals to repair the damage.

Excuse me, but I was here in the '90s when the NDP government was in power and I have not forgotten the aforementioned $500 million on fast ferries that didn't work and the billions more on union-only contracts to build highways and infrastructure everywhere but here. What is even more concerning is that 27 of the NDP candidates running in this election have strong union ties and the B.C. unions have donated $5 million to the NDP election fund. I too have concerns about Liberal programs and their priorities for spending. However, as a business person and a resident of B.C., I am absolutely frightened about the NDP and their election promises amounting to $3 billionplus in new spending. This can only mean higher taxes and coupled with promises to suspend, stall, cancel and put up moratoria barriers, businesses will be leaving the province and taking their investment monies with them. Mr. Dorval, you have asked people to support the NDP. I am saying to you and your friends, elect a Liberal government that will continue with their programs of tight fiscal management, that will bring in new investment and jobs, balance their spending against income and not borrow more money. Norm Crerar

During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the US government, allowing B.C. taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill thought out policies. And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt. I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14.

B.C.’s mayors are asking whoever forms the next government to create a ministry dedicated to local governments. Spallumcheen’s Janice Brown was updating her council on the request which came at the B.C. mayors’ caucus gathering in Prince George. “We have made a motion requesting the province establish a ministry dedicated to local governments,” said Brown. “We have an $8 billion budget with all of the local municipalities, but the government doesn’t have anybody dedicated to municipal governments. “They have someone that’s for communities, someone for

mayors were in attendance in Prince George, and another thing they’d like to see is an extension of the small community grants, which helps places like Spallumcheen with their budgeting. “Even the larger communities realize how important the grant is for small communities,” said Brown. NDP leader Adrian Dix was in attendance while Liberal leader Christy Clark did not attend but sent her support to the mayors. “Overall, it was a very, very good conference,” said Brown. “A lot of issues in the province are the same for all municipalities. We had questions for both leaders and we expect those questions to be answered.”

Play fighting proved troublesome for a pair of Vernon men Wednesday. Shortly before 8 p.m., officers were dispatched to a report of three men fighting near the parkade in the 3200 block of 31st Avenue. A description of the would-be combatants was given to police who found the trio in the area. “As our officers spoke to the three men and checked their names, they discovered that two of them had outstanding warrants,” said Vernon RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk.

Thieves target parks, beaches Morning Star Staff

The weather has been heating up and so, too, have the criminals. With the good weather the North Okanagan has enjoyed over the past week, it not only brings out the people wanting to enjoy the beaches and parks, but it also brings out the opportunists to steal from vehicles. Over the past week, the Vernon-North Okanagan RCMP detachment has received numerous calls of vehicles being broken into while the owners left their vehicle parked and went for a hike at the beach or in one of the parks. Police recommend that people plan ahead for such an outing. “If you know you are going to the beach, carry as little as possible with you,” said RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk. “Do not leave valuable items visible like purses and wallets in the vehicle when you park it. If at all possible place your items in the trunk before you arrive at the park so

you are not seen placing them in the trunk when you go to the beach or for your walk.” Molendyk said to watch for individuals who appear to be hanging around watching the activity of a parking lot while you are there. “The police want everyone to get out and enjoy the parks and beaches,” said Molendyk. “We are just asking you to take a few extra precautions and perhaps not become a victim of auto theft.”

A Ve r n on Monashee candidate believes the election campaign is getting ugly. A window was smashed at the B.C. Conservative office on 31st Avenue during the early morning hours of Thursday and candidate Scott Anderson believes the action was politically motivated. “When there’s a race as close as the one between the NDP and the Conservatives in Vernon-Monashee, it’s not surprising that we’re seen as a threat,” said Anderson. “It’s unfortunate that some people feel property damage is more effective than democracy.” When asked if he is suggesting the NDP is responsible, Anderson said, “Do I think their campaign broke the window? No. All of our signs are gone in

one who likes the NDP better than they like us,” he said, adding that the RCMP have a person of interest in the sign removal. Mark Olsen, NDP candidate, says he is troubled that someone broke Anderson’s window. “Our campaign is about positive action,” he said, adding that he has also had signs knocked down in Lumby. “It’s unfortunate that Mr. Anderson feels persecuted. Every campaign goes through vandalism. Kids knock signs over.” Olsen says his campaign team has been careful to get its message across while not curtailing others from doing the same. “We have directed volunteers to be honourable and to not interfere with the placement of the other candidates’ signs,” he said.

Birds focus of light standard theme RichaRd Rolke

Let us help you achieve this

Morning Star Staff

A tribute to Enderby’s feathered friends could take flight. Runaway Moon Theatre has proposed to the City of Enderby that light standards downtown be beautified along a bird theme. “We would paint or decorate them to represent the birds that we have living here,” said Cathy Stubington, Runaway Moon’s artistic director. “We would represent the cycle of the seasons.” The goal would be to increase residents’

awareness of birds and the environment, while also providing an attraction for visitors to Enderby. At this point, Enderby council has indicated interest in the project but not final approval. “We need to see some more design details and what it will

look like,” said Mayor Howie Cyr. “We want to consult with downtown businesses and get input from them.” The project would come at no cost to the city, and Cyr believes the bird theme would enhance current amenities such as the river walk which features

bird houses. “There are about 10 (light standards) planned and it would be an interesting walk for people,” he said. “I am interested to see what Cathy comes up with.” The light standards are part of a larger project by Runaway Moon to focus on the

world around us and the natural calendar of the seasons. “We’ve been doing a variety of projects about the birds that live here,” said Stubington. There is no timeline yet for the light standards to be decorated. “We hope to get started fairly soon,” said Stubington.

cial plan and annual tax rate bylaws. “We have a track record of being fiscally responsible,” said Mayor Howie Cyr, who points out that no complaints were received about the

2013 budget. “The community is confident that we have a handle on the finances.” The budget includes a three per cent tax increase or an additional $20 for the average

property owner. Of the three per cent tax increase, two per cent will go towards financing capital works and one per cent is dedicated for equipment reserves. Operational costs, such as labour, have been covered through internal efficiencies such as not replacing some vehicles and integrating the parks department with public works. Heritage signs updated Visitors and residents will soon have new information on Enderby’s history. City council has given approval to the Enderby Heritage Commission to replace the aging interpretive signs along the Shuswap River. Bob Cowan, with the commission, has presented council with the designs for the signs. “They will be a great addition to the river walk,” said Mayor Howie Cyr.

STAGE 2 WATER RESTRICTIONS EFFECTIVE MAY 8, 2013 until further notice

Due to extreme temperatures causing a quick spring runoff, the City of Armstrong is having to switch water source from the Fortune Creek surface supply to groundwater wells. The creek water temporarily contains too much organic debris to be reliable. Some of the changes you may notice with the well water are – the water from the wells is slightly warmer, it may taste differently and require more soap for cleaning. However, it is entirely safe to use. As the well water is limited, it is necessary to implement Stage 2 Water Restrictions immediately. During Stage 2 Restrictions, no person shall: i) use a sprinkler or irrigation system to water a lawn, garden, trees or shrubs; or ii) wash driveways, sidewalks, parking lots or exterior building surfaces. During Stage 2 a person may: i) water trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetables if watering is done by hand-held container or a hose equipped with a shut-off nozzle, but only during the prescribed Stage 1 watering hours and days which are: – an even numbered address may water on even days of the calendar and an odd numbered address may water on odd days of the calendar – between the hours of 6 am to 10 am and 7 pm to midnight; and ii) water newly planted trees, shrubs, flowers and vegetables if watering by hand during installation and for the following 24 hours. These restrictions apply to all residents of the City of Armstrong, Pleasant Valley and Round Prairie Specified Areas, Highland Park, Stardel, Silver Star and Lansdowne Water Districts and other residents of Spallumcheen receiving City of Armstrong water.

Survey targets local quality of life Residents urged to help RDNO identify regional priorities Morning Star Staff

The Regional District of North Okanagan launches the 2013 quality of life survey today. The survey will help evaluate the effectiveness of the regional growth strategy and to identify regional priorities.

It asks a diverse range of questions about quality of life, community character and regional growth policy areas such as transportation, the environment, water resources, community infrastructure and agriculture,” said Anthony Kittel, regional growth strategy co-ordinator. The survey can be completed at www. rdno.ca/qols or paper copies will be available at the regional district office, municipal offices and Okanagan Regional library branches.

A new seniors care facility is a welcome addition to Lumby, but it’s not taking care of all of the local needs. Mayor Kevin Acton says he has heard from some residents who are concerned they can’t get into Monashee Mews because it’s not a retirement residence. “There’s not an understanding of what the criteria is for the facility,” he said. Monashee Mews provides care for physically frail seniors and people with mild to moderate dementia. There is also Kevin Acton a 10-bed unit for adults with acquired brain injuries. Acton says Monashee Mews is a vital addition to the community, but he admits it doesn’t help people who can’t live at home anymore but don’t require extensive care. “There’s definitely a gap that we still need to fill,” he said. “We will be pushing for a phase two of the project.” The operator of Monashee Mews, inSite Housing, Hospitality and Health Services, could not be reached for comment.

Details of the water utility will be regularly posted at www. cityofenderby.com. “We want to provide the public with information on the system and the costs it takes to operate it,” said Coun. Earl Shipmaker. With rates increasing, there is the belief that residents may not understand operational complexities. “It’s to show people what happens with the utility,” said Shipmaker. The website will also give residents an opportunity to review water levels and whether action is needed to reduce use. “It raises awareness to increase conservation,” said Mayor Howie Cyr.

Derby girls on track Saturday Jennifer Smith Morning Star Staff

The last chance to catch your local roller derby stars in action on home turf is here. The Okanagan Shuswap Roller Derby Association presents double header Tiki Torture Saturday at Armstrong’s Hassen Arena at 6 p.m. The Candy Strykers take on the Invermere Rollbots before the Raggedy Rollers go up against the Oil City Derby Girls. The event is the last home bout of — Sin Bin the season. Arena doors open at 5:30 and the first whistle will blow at 6 p.m. There is a concession “Fans can look forward to a family event, (kids 13 and under are free – most of our players are mothers) featuring athletes ‘with a persona,’ playing a game they love,” said Raggedy Roller April Kimble (known on the track as Sin Bin). “Hard hits, speed and strategy is what the game is all about.” There’s also a concession and for the adults, there’s the Caribou Brewing beer gardens. Then join the teams for a tiki-themed after party at Rosie’s Pub in the Armstrong Hotel. Kimble, who also referees, has been playing for nearly four years, since the OSRDA approached her at SUN FM for a promotional interview. “I had just seen the movie whip it, and I said I’d come have a skate to make our interview more fun,” said Kimble. “They asked me to join and I said yes. “I enjoy my team and league-mates, healthy changes this has brought into my life, inspiring smart strong women (we work together to make it happen), feeling hardcore – getting those frustrations out with a good body check if I’m having not the best day.” To catch all the action, tickets ($10) are available at Brown Paper Tickets (http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/370689), Armstrong’s Blue Hotel, Vertigo Tattoos in Salmon Arm, and Bikram Yoga, SunFM or Extreme Pita in Vernon. The team is also in need of coaches and trainers, for more information visit www.osrda.org. Teammate Lucy Dynamite is also hosting a fundraising bout May 18 for her sister, who has non Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The Hurt to Heal charity scrimmage and auction gets underway at 6 p.m. at the Hassen Arena.

Ken Mather has unveiled Frontier Cowboys and the Great Divide: Early Ranching in B.C. and Alberta

Alberta’s legendary cowboy heritage has its roots in the rich North Okanagan grasslands. Frontier Cowboys and the Great Divide: Early Ranching in B.C. and Alberta focuses on the vast cattle drives that made their way through the Rockies during the 1800s to meet the growing demand for beef. “The very first cattle in Calgary, the cattle capital of Canada, came from B.C.,” said Ken Mather, a Spallumcheen author and former O’Keefe Ranch curator. Much of the livestock was raised in the North Okanagan. “One of the fellows who drove cattle was Frank O’Keefe, Cornelius O’Keefe’s brother, and another was Charles Ashton, who Ashton Creek is named after.”

This is Mather’s third book on the subject. The others are Buckaroos and Mud Pups and Bronc Busters and Hay Sloops. Mather says he’s fascinated by the early cowboys and continues to find rich material to write about. “Nobody had ever told their story before, especially the early cattle drives into B.C. during the gold rush. I was breaking new ground,” he said, adding that the individuals of that era were characters. “They were bigger than life. They were far from civilization and they developed a real independence. Most were as tough as nails.” In 1875, Ashton led a herd of cattle through the Crowsnest. “I have heard him tell on how that trip on the prairies as they rode herd, they were on one night nearly eaten alive with mosquitoes and on the next, they had struck a blizzard that almost froze them in their saddles,” said Ashton’s daughter Minnie in a reminiscence. While he admits writing can be a challenge, Mather loves spending time looking through archival material. A lot of that comes from years working at Fort Edmonton, Barkerville and O’Keefe Ranch. “I’ve always been a researcher at heart.” Frontier Cowboys and the Great Divide, published by Heritage House, is currently being distributed to book stores. Mather will also be signing copies at O’Keefe Ranch on Sunday, and he anticipates the public response will be positive. “As the Okanagan grows, we’re beginning to realize we have a rich history,” he said. His next project is to self-publish a collection of the Ranch Tales columns he writes for The Morning Star.

“British Columbians have the opportunity to take time to learn how to maintain their personal mental wellness.” — Sandy Rysen

Health Week 2013, British Columbians have the opportunity to

take the time to learn how to maintain their personal mental well-

ness,” said Sandy Rysen, executive director of the Vernon branch of CMHA. “We all know what it means to be physically fit but we often don’t understand what it means to be mentally fit in order to cope with the challenges life brings us.” The Canadian Mental Health Association was formed in 1918 and it has played a role in improving people’s understanding of mental health and mental illness. CMHA introduced Mental Health Week in 1951 to raise awareness of mental illness in Canada. MHW today offers people practical ways to maintain and improve their mental health and support their recovery from mental illness. “Whether it’s at work, at home, at school or in the community, there are things we all can do to improve mental health for ourselves and those around us,” say Bev Gutray, chief executive officer of CMHA’s B.C. division. Each year, through 19 B.C. branches, CMHA helps more than 82,000 British Columbians. To get involved or donate, visit www.vernon.cmha.bc.ca.

All funds will help purchase helmets for youth in Vernon and support brain injury prevention. Everyone is invited to come purchase a hot dog or hamburger, along with a bag of chips and juice for a minimum $5 donation. Kal Tire will be providing the barbecue with support from Buy Low Foods. This fundraiser is part of BrainTrust Canada’s new Helmet Safety Program with partner Kalamalka Rotary, along with the City of Vernon, Community Policing and Vernon Moves/Transportation Demand Management. City bylaw officers and community policing will promote helmet compliance for cyclists in Vernon throughout the year, with the goal of reducing preventable brain injury. This will include helmets being pro-

vided to youth who cannot afford them. As well, to reward youth for positive safety behavior, officers will distribute coupons called “positive tickets” which have free services and products for Vernon businesses A&W, Dominos Pizza and the Recreation Centre. The Electric Paper Company is providing the printing for these coupons. Brain injury is the leading cause of death and disability for those under the age of 44, and youth are at the highest risk of injury. Approximately 20 per cent of brain injuries are sports related, however the vast majority are preventable through changes in behavior such as helmet use. Helmets can prevent up to 85 per cent of brain injuries. BrainTrust Canada is a progressive not-for-profit community rehabilitation agency that provides rehabilitation services for individuals affected by brain injury in the Okanagan. The association also has a strong focus on brain injury education and prevention. For more information on services call 1-888-762-3233 or visit www. braintrustcanada.com.

Raiders prevail Morning Star Staff

The Armstrong Shamrocks earned an early lead, but it didn’t last long as they fell 11-7 to the Kelowna Raiders in Thompson Okanagan Senior Lacrosse League play Wednesday night at Nor-Val Sports Centre. The Shamrocks’ Jarrett Medhurst opened the scoring but the defending Shaw Cup champion Raiders scored the next four goals to take the lead. Raiders continued to capitalize on Armstrong’s mistakes in the second period, extending their lead to 8-3 after 40 minutes. Medhurst and Steve Clark handled the Rocks’ attack. The Shamrocks tried to mount a third-period rally, but every time they scored Kelowna would answer back. Medhurst, with his hat-trick goal, Brennan Plante, Braydon Sanders and Jamie Cockerill supplied the Armstrong offence in front of Brett Logan (35 saves). Ryan Brabender made 39 stops for the win. The 2-1 Raiders were led offensively by Victor Wiens (3G), Braden Renner (2G) and Pho Heng (2+1). The 1-1 Shamrocks host the 1-2 Kamloops Rattlers in the second leg of a Lacrosseville twinbill at Nor-Val at 8 p.m. The Baby Rocks host Kelowna at 6 p.m. All the game proceeds and 50/50 draws will be donated to the Huntington Society of Canada.

Kitzman rising to Challenge “For his age, there’s a ton of athletes out there, but what sets him apart is this kid is smart; he learns real quick,” said Cragg. “And he can throw a football that’ll break your fingers if you’re not paying attention.” The other thing that impresses Cragg about Kitzman is his drive and maturity, especially for someone his age. “He goes down to camps whenever he can. He wants it bad.” Kitzman has already been hard at work seeking out showcase and development camps. He enrolled in the Just Run training camp hosted by ex-NFL running back J.R. Redmond last summer at Polson Park. He also participated in a university camp last weekend in Vancouver and will attend another one at Oregon University in July. “I’ve got lots lined up,” smiled Kitzman, who plans to study physical sciences at university. Created by CFL Hall of Fame quarterback Damon Allen, the QB Challenge features an impressive list of presenters, guests and coaches. The event will also include drum lines, cheerleading demos, mascots, high-level warm ups, and a list of star mentors, including former and present B.C. Lions and British Columbian Olympic medal winners. “Canadian football builds spirit, masters skills and is the stepping stone to showcase how great you can be,” said Allen. “There is nothing comparable to working hard for what you love and watching it become better than you ever thought it could be.”

Vernon’s Tye Kitzman will have a chance to test his arm against the best in B.C. at the inaugural Damon Allen High School Quarterback Challenge. The Grade 10 Fulton student earned an invite to the QB Challenge, which gives young athletes a chance to measure their skills amongst their peers. The top three scoring quarterbacks at the event, held at the Richmond Olympic Oval, will be awarded partial university scholarships. “I’m just hoping to compare myself against other kids my age and be able to focus everything on quarterback skills,” said Kitzman, who describes himself as an agile QB. “I’m not a real pocket passer; I’m a good scrambler. I play like Robert Griffin III (Washington Redskins’ QB).” Kitzman, who also plays rugby and basketball at Fulton, got hooked on football at a young age. He credits Vernon Minor Football coaches Chris Sochan and Bryan Cragg for boosting his interest in the sport at an early age. “Those two were a huge part of the growth for me,” he said. “I play with Bryan in a men’s flag football league now. He’s followed me all the way through. “I’ve been playing ever since I was six or seven and I’ve just loved it ever since. And I’ve wanted to work hard towards it, play somewhere and make a living at it.” In watching Kitzman’s development, Cragg sees heaps of potential in the 6-foot-2, 160-pounder.

Vipers announce futures from Hadley trade Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Vipers have a new foursome in their B.C. Hockey League den. Head coach/GM Jason Williamson announced that forward Michael McNicholas, 19, and defenceman Josh Bryan, 20, will join the Snakes to complete the trade which sent all-star Aaron Hadley to the Nanaimo Clippers at the trading deadline. Hadley played six games McNicholas for the Shipmen before breaking a kneecap.

McNicholas recorded 10 goals and 32 points in 35 regular-season games. The product of Manhattan Beach, Calif. is committed to the NCAA Division 1 University of New Hampshire Wildcats for 2014-15. “He’s an offensive-minded guy,” said Williamson. “We struggled to score goals last year and he’s gifted offensively and if we put him with the right guys, he’ll be a dangerous player.” Bryan is a BCHL veteran with 159 regular-season games. He produced nine goals and 30 points last season. The 6-foot-1, 205 pounder from Sidney had an excellent showing in the Western Canada Cup in Nanaimo. “He’s an experienced guy who can play a top-

line defensive pairing,” said Williamson. “His numbers were pretty good and he’s a guy we can lean on for leadership and play in all kinds of situations.” The Vipers also signed a towering American defenceman and a Canadian offensive forward. Mark Hamilton, a 6-foot-3, 225-pounder from Winthrop, Mass. captained the Salisbury Crimson Knights to the New England Prep School championship and won an Under 18 national title. He is committed to the University of MassachusettsAmherst Minutemen for 2014-15. Hamilton is rated 191st among North American skaters by Central Scouting for the June 30 entry draft in New Jersey.

Meanwhile, the Salmon Arm SilverBacks have signed Vernon forward Colton Thibault. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound right winger racked up 16 goals and 42 points in 49 regular-season games with the KIJHL North Okanagan Knights last season. He added 10 goals and 14 points in 20 playoff games, helping the Knights reach the KIJHL finals. “We have kept a keen eye on Colton this past season and more importantly in the playoffs,” said SilverBack GM Troy Mick. “His play down the stretch and in the KIJHL playoffs was nothing short of fantastic. Colton exemplifies the type of player we are looking for; scorers who elevate their game in the playoffs are a rare find.”

Tucker takes down Tirecraft Morning Star Staff

Turn-Key Controls used a variety of sources to ambush Peters Tirecraft 6-1 in North Okanagan Soccer League play Wednesday night at Marshall Field #4. The Tiremen enjoyed a good start in the scorching heat, but it was Turn-Key defender Sean Bonnett who found some space in the 18 after a pass from Evan Moore for the opening goal. Shortly after, Nolan’s Pharamsave Man of the Match Preston Tucker used the outside of his right foot to bury a 25-yard blast. The Controls squad carried the possession the rest of the half led by Moore and Tucker in the midfield, and had numerous chances from wingers Taylor Horsting and Marco Arnold. Burly attacker Conan Ackert quickly put the Controls up by four in the second half when he potted a pair. Keeper Gregg Douma who was filling in for Jeremy Kler, narrowly missed the shutout when Andrew Fanderham volleyed a 20-yard corker, worthy of the SportsCentre Top-10. Defender Carson Haywood-Farmer unleashed a shot from outside the box that squeaked past the Tirecraft keeper for the final tally. Defender Sam Nolan earned the Total Restoration Save of the Game for his efforts in keeping the Tirecraft attack

grounded all night. Monashee Surveying whitewashed the Salmon Arm Outlaws 4-0 in a highly physical match at Marshall #1. Alberto Lopez converted from in tight for the lone first-half goal. Coming out in the second half with some energy, super pest Darren Nobrega created a chance and was taken down in the box. Ryan Sharp finished cleanly. Ryan Sharp hit his brother Zach with a goal kick and the streaking Zach made it 3-0. Lopez capped the scoring. James Inglis recorded the shutout. Vernon Riot FC and the Vernon Camels FC played to a 2-2 draw at Marshall #2. The Camels went up 2-0 on goals by Enzo Paal before Andres Castillo converted a penalty kick for the Riot. Just 10 minutes later, Castillo put a lovely ball across the net and Rob Ross drove a header through the Camel keeper. Nation of Domination Eagle Homes shut down North Enderby Timber 3-0 at Marshall #5. The Timber hung keeper Bryndon Buckham out to dry on two free breakaways.

Kongsdorf king Big O bear

Affectionately known as Yogi, smiling Danish bear Jorgen Kongsdorf was at his acrobatic finest Monday night. Kongsdorf earned the Schneider’s Meats Man of the Match as Big O Tire/ Turn Key Ogopogos grounded the Rented Mules 3-1 in men’s 45+ league play. Kongsdorf saved Big O’s bacon a few times early on three clear breakaways. The Mules scored midway through the half with the Ogopogos equalizing just before the break when Roland Riedstra broke through after a great kick from Kongsdorf In the second half, Mark Wasylyk broke in and connected for his first two goals of the season after earlier offside woes. The Silver Stars went to 4-0 by shutting down Cantinas 2-0 at Marshall #3. Gary Saunders opened up the scoring with a tap in at the far post. Paul McArdle supplied insurance midway through the second half after a dazzling run down the wing by Saunders. McArdle’s goal was a thing of beauty after he one-touched and connected on a halfvolley. Cantinas almost scored late after keeper Ted Lurkins played the ball like Flipper before a majestic recovery to preserve his first shutout of the season.

Sun Dial lights up Midget diamond Morning Star Staff

The Sun Dial Lighting Canadians split a Midget baseball twinbill with Salmon Arm, winning 19-2 after losing 8-6. After recording a season-low three hits in the opener, the Canadians exploded in Game 2 with Kristian Currie, Shelby Hartwig and Tyler Lacktin- Doyle each driving in three runs.

The Vernon Hi-Pro Canadians blasted the West Kelowna Blue Jays 15-1 in Pee Wee interlock action at Creekside Park.

Hyundai backs touch program Morning Star Staff

Vernon Youth Touch Rugby hasn’t even started yet, but it is already scoring points. The grassroots program, which starts Sunday at Grahame Park, received a triple-pronged boost in the form of a $500 sponsorship from Vernon Hyundai, the addition of another quality coach in Bruce Townsend and further support from the B.C. Rugby League. Townsend, a Hyundai sales associate, tried unsuccessfully to get a similar program off the ground more than a decade ago. When he heard Iain Scott and Gord Cheyne were trying again, he quickly got on board. “This is my dream,” said Townsend. “I went through this 10 years ago, but just couldn’t get it going. The idea of two codes (union and league) is pretty cool. It’s in the Bruce Townsend same interest. It’s getting the ball in kids’ hands.” Townsend brings a wealth of high-level coaching experience to the Vernon program. He lived in Australia to help coach the rugby union Canberra Royals from 1996-00. He then became head coach of the Calgary Saints club team from 2000-03. Paul O’Keefe, provincial development manager for Canadian Rugby League, says by running the rugby league season in summer, it will complement the spring high school union season. “We’re targeting kids coming out of school on summer holidays and there’s nothing to do.” Both codes of rugby are relative fringe sports in Canada, league in particular, so the potential to go far with it is much greater than mainstream sports. There are a number of differences between the two sports, one of the most prominent being that rugby league has a system of limited tackles, whereas rugby union does not. “Rugby is wide open,” said O’Keefe. “There’s huge opportunity, but people don’t see it.” The touch rugby program, which is also sponsored by the Kalamalka Rotary Club, is open to boys and girls ages four to 12. There will be a total of six weekly sessions starting Sunday from 10-11 a.m. Opening-day registration is at 9:30 a.m., and the $20 fee which includes snacks and a T-shirt. Scott and Cheyne are looking for volunteers to help with registration, set up, supervision and skills coaching and are also seeking further sponsorship. Contact Gordon Cheyne at ghcheyne@gmail. com, or 250-938-1162; or Iain Scott at iain.scott@ investorsgroup.com, or 250-307-4888.

rewrite B.C. labour law. The NDP election platform punts this issue until after the election as well, promising an independent expert panel to decide on issues like whether to end secret-ballot votes for union certification. This isn’t just a bad idea, it’s a 30-year-old bad idea. It’s based on the destructive old notion that employers are the enemy of workers, and only a union can protect them. The long decline of union membership in the private sector isn’t caused by employer bullying or secret-ballot votes that protect employees’ freedom of choice. The cause is global competition. The only protection workers have from that is their own efficiency. Balancing the budget? An NDP government will strive to do that over “the business cycle,” says finance critic Bruce Ralston. Oldtimers might remember this one. It’s taken from the NDP’s 1991 election platform. Yes, 22 years ago there was a widespread belief in a predictable four-year cycle of commodity prices and other economic determinants. Whatever was left of that dusty, faded picture was erased with the financial collapse of 2008. If you still believe in a predictable “business cycle,” you may be

BC Conservatives will: ✔ Scrap the Carbon Tax ✔ Bring back High-Pay Jobs ✔ Spend Smarter ✔ Demand Honest Government Help the BC Conservatives get a foothold in the BC Legislature! “Scott Anderson is a superb candidate” -- Darrel Stinson, Former MP “BC Conservative support is exceptionally strong in Vernon-Monashee” -- Chris Walker, host, CBC Daybreak

Cera Bollo of Armstrong poses for artists at the Vernon Public Art Gallery May 1. The gallery is holding one more live model drawing session scheduled for Thursday, May 16, from 11 a.m to 1 p.m., before breaking for summer. Participating artists are invited to take part in a group exhibition showcasing sketches produced in the sessions, which will take place in the Community Gallery at the VPAG from January to March, 2014.

Gallery and museum co-host event Morning Star Staff

The Vernon Public Art Gallery and the Greater Vernon Museum and Archives are inviting guests, both members and non-members of all ages, to celebrate International Museum’s Day May 18. The gallery and museum have partnered in an event called Art and Artifacts, which highlights two main components found in museums: contemporary art and historical artifacts. The VPAG is inviting residents and visitors as it celebrates 68 years of service to the Okanagan by opening its doors to celebrate the occasion. “It may surprise some people to know that the gallery is in fact a museum, and events such as this can showcase what Vernon’s cultural institutions are all about,” said VPAG executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. “The Vernon Public Art Gallery is a member of the Canadian Museum’s

Association. In this regard, we are under the same category as the Vernon museum, the (Okanagan) Science Centre or even a zoo. Our role as a public art gallery is to provide an educational institution promoting and exhibiting regional, national, and international visual arts. The gallery also collects and preserves artwork, and we are here to engage and inspire the public through all visual art form.” Visitors to the VPAG will be able to enjoy a free tour of the current exhibitions, as well as a retrospective of nine works by the late Joan Heriot from the gallery’s permanent collection. “The gallery will offer the opportunity for guests to produce their own screenprinted T-shirt, by donation,” said Kelly MacIntosh, VPAG marketing and programming coordinator. “And of course, every good open house offers guests free cake.” The Greater Vernon Museum and Archives is also offering a tour of its

working print shop and will also provide information on the 14-foot tower clock, which sits outside its doors and recently underwent major repairs. Visitors can also discover what happens in the process of accessioning an artefact, while children can participate in the Apple Label Contest, with prizes for the top three submissions. In addition, Captain Thomas Dolman Shorts, who has been lost in time but not forgotten, will have his steam engine up and running. Both venues will offer half-price membership discounts for guests that purchase and/or renew both a VPAG and Vernon museum membership on May 18. The Vernon Public Art Gallery is located at 3228 31st Ave. and the open house will run from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Greater Vernon Museum and Archives is located at 3009 32nd Ave., and will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Spring is here and so is the art season. Ashpa Naira Gallery, located on the North Westside Road area of Vernon, has opened its doors for its seventh season with a spring group exhibition. “Our first exhibition features the artwork of the newest artists to photo subMItted be in the gallery,” Lorena Krause’ GoPops 10, feasaid Ashpa Naira turing watercolour and glass on owner and artist paper, is one of the Langley artCarolina Sanchez ists works being shown at Ashpa de Bustamante. Mexico-born Naira Gallery on the westside of artist Lorena Vernon. Krause, who now lives in Langley, is showing her mainly abstract/ mixed media in her series, GoPoPs, an acronym for glass on painting on paper. Work from the series was shown at the Vernon Public Art Gallery earlier this year. “GoPoPs was born from the fascination I developed for the delicate organic stains that can be created on paper when water touches ink,” said Krause. “A personal challenge began to create different, odd or uncommon shapes in simplicity, focusing mainly on the placement of colour, dabs and glass.” Also joining the exhibition is Vernon-born, Lake Country-based artist Katie Brennan, with her poetic description of the most familiar phenomenon, the sky, while Vernon’s Kevin Spetifore, who is deeply moved by the power of colour, line and texture, will show his drawings. Other artists participating in the exhibition include Angelika Jaeger, Lori Mairs, Vikki Drummond, Annemarie Fux, Deborah Wilson, Martha Moore, Leonhard Epp, Jessica Klein, Robert Bigelow, Barry Rafuse and Sanchez de Bustamante, among others. They will be showing work in a variety of media: painting, textile, sculpture, ceramic, glass and jewelry. The exhibition runs to June 30. Ashpa Naira Gallery is located at 9492 Houghton Rd. in the Killiney area on the westside of Okanagan Lake. Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday to Sunday. Admission is free.

In life, cross-country skiing coach Jessica Eaman loved seeing the rosy, smiling cheeks of students learning how to glide through the pines at Sovereign Lake Nordic Centre. Organizers of her upcoming memorial concert hope the proceeds will pay for that scene to continue. The second annual benefit concert for the J.E.S.S. 4 Kids ski fund, June 2 at Polson Park, raises money to give students in the North Okanagan the chance to try Nordic skiing who wouldn’t otherwise be able to. Almost a year after Eaman died in an Oyama car accident in March 2012, funds raised from the first concert allowed 33 students from the Okanagan Indian Band Immersion School to step off a bus at Sovereign and strap on a pair of cross-

Eaman was just a girl when she began Nordic skiing in Sovereign’s Jack Rabbit ski program. By the time she died at 26, she had coached dozens of young skiers. “She really gave back to Sovereign, and we want to honour her memory,” said Jeff Bassett, one of the organizers behind the benefit concert. The concert features performances by five local young musicians and bands: Siesta

Motel, Jesse Mast, Eli Garlick and Hana Friedman, Morgan Hillis and Amistad. All of the musicians have been top finishers in the Our Kids Have Talent contest. “This is a chance for people in Vernon to hear some great music and support a great cause,” said Bassett. The concert takes place at the Polson Park bandshell from 1 to 4 p.m. Admission is by donation and all proceeds will go to the J.E.S.S. 4 Kids fund.

Grants offered to Vernon musicians/filmmakers Morning Star Staff

Vernon’s arts community is getting a leg up with the offer of a new grant to fund a music video. Supported by Telus, the non-profit organization Public Records is offering musicians and filmmakers across B.C. and Alberta up to $5,000 in grants to produce music videos this summer. The Summer 2013 Music Video Fund will also include a Telus funded production education component that teaches artists the craft of music video production. The final music videos will appear on Telus Optik Local, on demand and online, while artists will retain full rights to their content. “We want to support and give exposure to emerging Canadian musicians and filmmakers,” said Public Records co-founder Tony Yacowar. “Through these grants we hope to find and champion undiscovered talent in B.C. and Alberta. Who knows, maybe one of these artists will go on to super-stardom one day? Regardless, it will help fuel the creation of independent Canadian content.” To be eligible for a grant, participants must be musicians (artist or band) or filmmakers (individual or crew). Emerging artists and filmmakers from the following communities are eligible to apply: Metro Vancouver (including Whistler), Victoria, Nanaimo, Prince George, Kelowna,

Vernon, Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Fort McMurray, Grand Prairie, Penticton and Kamloops. Interested candidates can register now on www. publicrecords.org. Official grant submissions take place May 31 to June 14. For more information, visit www.publicrecords. org or follow them on Twitter: @publicrcrds.

Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.) tests the structural integrity of his couch.

Stark by comparison

iron Man 3

illionaire superhero Tony Stark, (Robert Downey Jr.) also known as Iron Man, is having some personal problems. Last summer, as part of the Avengers, Stark helped save the world from an alien invasion. Ever since that day he’s been having nightmares and anxiety attacks. When a new terrorist known as the Mandarin, (Ben Kingsley) starts wreaking havoc with American interests, Stark calls him out, with his usual brash attitude. Taylor & Howe Now he has to protect the world, himself and most importantly, the love of his life, Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow). Stark’s problems are only beginning, as he discovers that the Mandarin is just a small part of a much larger threat. We say, “It satisfies superhero cravings.” TAYLOR: IM3 is a little bit silly, certainly not logical, but still fun. HOWE: Who really cares about the logic in superhero movies? The paying public want to see action, explosions and chases. It is a comic book movie after all. TAYLOR: I guess that’s true, but the story does suffer a bit due to it making less than perfect sense. When a plot relies on deus ex machina for it to merely exist (or garner more minutes of film time), even a child could find the flaw in Iron Man saving the day by doing something he could have done to avoid this whole mess in the first place. However, these moments in the film, while major and tied to the plot’s conclusion, did not really interfere with my enjoyment of the film. If you’re after action, explosions and chases, Iron Man 3 delivers, even more than the first two films. Check your brain at the door. HOWE: I didn’t see the first two Iron Man movies, so I know nothing of the series. It had a different director this time out and I’m told this is

The

more in line with the frantic action scenes of The Avengers than the other two. I guess that’s why they threw in the little flashbacks every now and then of the last movies to tie everything neatly together. TAYLOR: Audiences can comfortably watch IM3 without having watched the first two films, in part because of the flashbacks and in part because it just doesn’t matter. Iron Man is a two dimensional character until you get to know (and like) Tony Stark. Robert Downey Jr.’s cheeky performance is instantly likeable and audiences love the quick rapport he shares with every other character he meets. I’ve seen all the IM films and this one does seem to be a little heavier on the action side of things, but it’s well done. HOWE: To me Iron Man 3 didn’t seem as glossy or polished as The Avengers. Yes, it has some good performances from the cast, none more so than Kingsley, but that alone doesn’t put it on par with last summer’s blockbuster. I guess we will have to see what Thor: The Dark World has to offer us later in the year and I’m sure Iron Man will be back in Avengers 2. — Taylor gives Iron Man 3 3.5 “Ten Rings” out of 5. — Howe gives it 3.5 giant rabbits out of 5. The film is currently showing at the Galaxy Cinemas in Vernon.

The band plans to make a southern barbecue out of Vernon’s socially aware coffee house. That is to say, the three young men that make up the group are looking to play music that will make audience’s feet move. The band, which has played numerous shows around Vernon and area for the past few years, is at first noticeable by their matching ‘30s-style outfits (think suspenders and newsboy caps). However it’s their music that speaks for itself. There’s the classy Motown beat pounding from Cameron Lutz’s drum kit, funky rhythms

Ryder’s voice carries Harmony

Serena Ryder: Harmony

n her sixth album, Harmony, Toronto singer/songwriter Serena Ryder is a soul machine. Her throaty voice and streamlined songs are a natural match for her forays here into neo-soul. This starts in with Fall, a vibe-heavy cross section where The Supremes and early James Bond theme songs intersect. Ryder’s voice carries the weight easily. The mood of Harmony is dramatic, made so by sparse songs and the bluesy darkness Dean Gordon-Smith in Ryder’s voice — hints of Amy Winehouse and Adele abide. She makes a nice collision between her folk-rock roots and retro soundtrack soul in Call Me. This autumnal song brings out an expressive vocal from Ryder, as she uses her voice to shift between texture and belting to match the evocative music. The thematic flow of the album (one of its strong points) was achieved by Ryder and co-producers/ writers, Jerrod Bettis and Jon Levine. The duo and

The band’s name implies their music is a doorway to a life of more than the ordinary. The band goes steadfast towards the future, fine tuning their writing process while experimenting with new tones and progressions along the way. They are constantly producing works that are fresh and interesting, with imagery inspired by the art and bountiful nature of the Okanagan.

Serena Ryder’s killer vocals lift her Juno winning album Harmony. Ryder worked in L.A. and the singer’s home studio (The Cottage) in Toronto. In keeping with the dusky sonic landscape on Harmony (where excess is checked) some Goldfinger dust is picked up along the way. Ryder’s sound recalls British soul-pop queens of the past: Lulu, Dusty Springfield, and Shirley Bassey. Like them, she doesn’t hit any unneeded notes or repeat herself. She’s entertaining without being shallow. But nobody’s perfect. Please Baby, Please has a piano ballad maudlinism and For You is a clichéd torch song chord progression. Heavy Love moves in quickly to check this slip. It’s a steady roller that recalls Ryder’s acoustic background and its appeal is in the driving vocal and the melodic pattern. It could have been another single but, there’s already enough strength in the content of the material on Harmony. Even the “off ” songs aren’t write-offs, maintaining simplicity and biting vocals from Ryder. Harmony is a brief, emotional album that’s straight to the point.

Excellence in and out of the classroom Katherine MortiMer

That all five winners of the Governor General’s Academic Medal are straight-A students is a given. The surprise is that the accomplishments of Jennifer Borchert, Jake McNair, Payton Prebushewski, Jeremy Woo and Katie Yakovleva also extend beyond the classroom. Created in 1873 by Lord Dufferin, Canada’s third Governor General after Confederation, the Governor General’s Academic Medal is awarded to the top student at high schools across the country. Jennifer Borchert Fulton graduate Jennifer Borchert has just wrapped up her first year of general sciences at the University of Victoria. She said by taking pride in her school, she was able to take advantage of all it had to offer. “There were many opportunities to take part in school activities,” she said. “I really enjoyed playing tennis, being a part of the leadership community and partaking in the Global Education program. “I budgeted my time wisely and was very organized; I also had to recognize when I was feeling overwhelmed, and prioritize. Over the years, so many people have influenced my life, whether providing support or encouraging me to be my own person. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without them.” The top overall student at Fulton from Grade 8 to 12, Borchert also received the service and citizenship award every year. “In the senior year, she was the cornerstone of the leadership club,” said principal Malcolm Reid, adding that Borchert was also responsible for a walking trail along Vernon Creek and received the Trailmaker Award from the Ribbons of Green Society. Borchert said academics have always been important to her and that she receives satisfaction from facing challenges and doing well, comparing it to the pleasure one gets from completing a difficult puzzle. Although not sure where her future lies, Borchert is enjoying the process of exploring her interests while living in Victoria. She encourages current secondary school students to simply make things happen. “If you do the best that you can, doors will open,” she said. “It’s easy to let these doors close due to lack of time or patience, but if you push through you won’t regret it.” Jake McNair Recently retired Vernon secondary school principal Morris Vardabasso said other students were in awe of Jake McNair, who has just completed his first year of a major in political sciences at the University of Toronto.

This is Faye... Faye has ideas for your entire house.

“He is extremely intelligent, was class valedictorian, involved in productions on stage and behind the scenes,” said Vardabasso. “He could take a minor role and make it a major role.” McNair has always enjoyed finding new challenges in academics, learning more about them and doing well. His fondest memories of VSS come from working on plays produced by the drama department. “Working with the teachers who led us and with the older students in the plays inspired me to work harder and to learn how to be comfortable in front of large audiences,” he said. McNair said he was influenced by many of his high school teachers, particularly in German, sociology, history, English, drama and math. “They helped make classes much more enjoyable, because they knew how to be friends to their students as well as teachers,” he said. “Even if the subject we were discussing wasn’t what I found interesting, I still looked forward to their classes and worked hard to rise to their high expectations.”

“I wish to see that everyone has the same, wonderful opportunities that I have had in my life.” — Jeremy Woo McNair isn’t sure how he found the time to excel academically while also taking part in drama productions, but said having patience went a long way in his success. “I had to learn to work through all the work that needed to be done,” he said. McNair’s future plans include using his writing talents as a journalist, hopefully reporting on major news events in Canada and around the world. In high school, he made sure he took the courses he needed to succeed post-secondary, and advises current students to do the same. “School doesn’t exist for you to have fun; it exists for you to learn. Everything else follows from that,” he said. “Take a broad range of courses right through to Grade 12, even if you don’t enjoy all of them, although you should certainly be trying to find what you do enjoy. “Get your work done first, and then have some free time, not the other way around. You will have much more fun if you have somewhere to go after high school than if you waste your education now.” Payton Prebushewski Charles Bloom graduate Payton Prebushewski believes that everyone has their own niche in which they excel. For her, that niche was academics.

“Getting the best grades possible was always my main goal,” she said. “It always felt so rewarding when I would get an assignment back and had done really well on it, especially when I knew I had put a considerable amount of time into it. “That good feeling was my motivation. When I started Grade 11, getting into post-secondary was my motivation.” She said she has heard people say that having good grades, a social life and getting enough sleep are all possible in high school, but you only get to choose two. “If I really wanted to do something extra-curricular, I made time for it, and I did whatever homework I had on my breaks or when I was at home. At the time, it didn’t seem like all that much of a challenge. Looking back, however, I was busy most days after school with leadership activities and really didn’t have all that much down time. Sometimes it was a lot to balance, but I wouldn’t have done it differently.” Prebushewski credits her parents for their influence on her, calling them determined people who work hard to provide for her and her sister. Her parents have always been supportive, encouraging her to pursue her own interests. “Many of my teachers over the years also had a large influence on me,” she said. “They were just all around great people. I wouldn’t be where I am today, or the person I am without all of these people.” Principal Ken Gatzke said Prebushewski is one of those well-rounded students who excels in everything she does, from her study of humanities and sciences, to organizing most school events. “We’re extremely proud of Payton. She did a great job at Charles Bloom and could not be a more worthy candidate,” he said. “She is a true academic leader in the classroom, and teachers indicated Payton was one of those special students you met in 10 years of teaching.” When she looks back at high school, Prebushewski said it’s hard to choose just a few of her favourite memories, but student leadership is one of the highlights. “Getting involved in school events and learning what it really takes to make high school the experience that it is was really cool,” she said. Another highlight is her time on the school Frisbee team in Grades 11 and 12, where she enjoyed trips to Washington for tournaments. “Overall, though, I have to say that my Grade 12 year is the best memory I have. All the fundraising and preparations for graduation really brought our class together.” Having just finished up first-year engineering at the University of Calgary, Prebushewski’s goal is to become an architect, and is planning a move into urban planning studies next year.

hall for our family. The meal included 15 children under the age of 10, and they were absolute monsters. My nephew threw his shoe across the room and then tripped a waitress. These kids crawled under the tables, poking us with forks and smearing food into the carpet. My cousin’s 8-year-old daughter put open condiment packets in my purse and a baked potato in my mother’s coat pocket and then mashed it into the fabric. People from the other area of the restaurant complained after my nephew threw food at them. My husband and I left, leaving a large tip for the servers. Other relatives did the same.

an utter disaster. Before we left town the next morning, my husband and I stopped by the restaurant and left additional money for the inconvenience of cleaning food out of the carpet. My grandmother asked the owner for a full bill of the damage and presented it to those children whose offspring made the mess. It started a huge family row, and of course, nobody is taking responsibility for

their kids. I’ve never seen such appalling behavior, and I doubt my grandfather would have appreciated such disrespect. My husband and I are tempted to send the restaurant owner an anonymous money order because we doubt he will otherwise be compensated. My parents are supposed to have their 50th anniversary party at this restaurant next month, and the guest list is almost identical. They’re too embarrassed to go, but don’t want to lose their deposit. Should I send the money order? Whatever happened to manners? — Shocked Granddaughter Dear Shocked: They apparently got stuck with the mashed

potatoes. What terrible behavior from the parents who allowed their children to run amok. And they do their children a disservice by making them unwelcome everywhere. We think your parents should go ahead with their plans to celebrate at that restaurant but issue invitations only to the adults. Children who are too immature to behave in public and whose parents refuse to control them should not be included in these events. We suspect your parents paid the cleaning bill, so instead of “donating” money to the restaurant, you might consider doing something special on your folks’ behalf.

Students earn Governor General’s Academic Medal Continued from B9

She said her advice to students to not give up may sound like a cliché, but she knows how important grades are, especially to get into post-secondary programs. “Even if you’re unsure about what career you want to pursue, do your best. That being said, have fun. Get involved in your school community and make the most of the experience — make as many memories as you can because after high school, life gets a little more serious, and you may not have the opportunity. In the end, all we really have is our memories.” Jeremy Woo Kalamalka principal Don Balcombe said he tried to get Jeremy Woo to occasionally say no when asked to do something. “He did absolutely everything in school under the sun,” said Balcombe. “He is part of our Kal family — he was everywhere.” Woo has just wrapped up his first year of studies at the Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary. The aviation industry beckons in the future, but his immediate goal is to make a positive difference in people’s lives. “I’m not sure what form that will take, but I would like to make just one person’s life a little better” he said. “I have been given all of the opportunities in the world, and it is only fair that I give back to the world that has given me so much. I wish to see

that everyone has the same, wonderful opportunities that I have had in my life.” Throughout high school, academics were Woo’s number-one priority, while at the same time not focusing strictly on grades. “Rather, trying my very best to succeed in whatever I do is my unrelenting focus, and I largely attribute that to my parents,” he said. “If I am going to do something, I might as well do my very best, because I want to be proud of what I have tried, what I have accomplished.” Woo’s motivation in his last few years of high school has been his family. His grandparents came to Canada from China with nothing and managed to create something special for the next generations. Similarly, he said, his parents have given all of their resources and time to their children. “My entire family has always offered their unwavering support. That has allowed me to accomplish more than I could have imagined.” Some of Woo’s favourite moments at Kal took place in the school’s theatre, he said, calling his experiences at the Apple Box Theatre “life lessons.” Outside of school, he counts his time spent at the Vernon Curling Club as his favourite. Whether helping to organize a bonspiel, vacuuming the floor, socializing upstairs or curling with friends, cherished memories were created at the club. In addition to his family and members of the community, Woo

gives thanks to his teachers. “All of my teachers have had a lasting impact on my life. However, three names come to mind: Susan Gouchée, Mary Niedballa and Shon Thomas. These teachers taught me valuable life skills, always had time to listen and talk meaningfully, and inspired me to achieve.” Woo’s advice to students still in school? Find that one thing in your life that gets you up in the morning, makes you happier than anything and would be a tragedy to lose. “Maybe it’s a person, maybe it’s a hobby, maybe it’s an academic pursuit or an interest. For me, that one thing is people. That passion will keep you going.” Katie Yakovleva Seaton grad Katie Yakovleva is one of those students who is not happy with an assignment unless she has put her best effort into it. “I grew up in a family that really valued hard work and good grades, and so those values got passed onto me,” she said. “My success also became my motivation. Once you know what you’re capable of, it’s hard to lower the standards for yourself.” Seaton principal Mike Bell said through all of her success, Yakovleva never wanted recognition for herself. “She spent countless hours looking for a way of helping others,” he said. When she looks back on her time at Seaton, it’s not the major events she recalls, but

“Your hormones are like the musicians in an orchestra — when they’re all in tune, the performance is breathtaking. My methods will help you reclaim the balance, sleep, sex drive and vitality you deserve.” — Dr. Christine Hatfield, MD

the smaller, day-to-day moments spent with friends, laughing. “Memories like that are what really make me smile,” she said. Taking part in all of the activities that interested her, as well as excelling academically, took some time management, but Yakovleva said sticking to her priorities, and occasionally cutting a few things out, allowed her to do as much as she could. “Grade 12 was probably the craziest year of all, but I think what helped was having rest and fun things to look forward to.” Yakovleva has just finished her first year as an English major at UVic and is glad she took the time to look at post-secondary requirements a few years before graduation to make sure she had the courses she needed. “Don’t go into a certain post-secondary program just because you think you have to,”

she said. “I felt almost obligated to get a science degree, or go into something like medicine, because a lot of people expected it of me. But I don’t think I would be very happy doing that now. “Some people still look at me funny when I tell them I want to major in English, and that’s OK. The people who know me best aren’t surprised. My interests in most other subjects have changed throughout the years, but my love of reading and writing never has.” While grades are important, Yakovleva said it’s the learning that is just as crucial. “And don’t stress about the future. I know it doesn’t feel like you have a lot of time to make a decision, but you actually do,” she said. “Many people I graduated with — myself included — had no idea what they wanted to do after high school. Some of us are gradually figuring it out.

Anyway, life works out. “Enjoy high school. Before you know it, you’ll be wondering where the last five years

went and how it is you’re not in high school anymore. So make great memories, laugh, and have fun!”

Bridge by Phillip Alder

AFTER SIDE SUITS, GO FOR TRUMPS Carey Mulligan, an English actress who made her Broadway debut in “The Seagull” in 2008, maintained, “I never said I wanted to be a lead actress; I never said I wanted to be a film actress. This need to trump everyone bewilders me. I’m only 25. I’m not better than anyone. I just want to watch other people and learn to be good.” That is a great attitude for up-and-comers in anything, including bridge. But at times there is a need to trump everyone with a trump card. In this deal, South is in four spades. West leads the diamond king. How should East plan the defense? If you have adopted two-

over-one game-force, North would rebid two spades. Then South, with that unappealing singleton club, would probably jump to four spades. But if he settles for three spades, North should be happy with four spades. Despite his good-looking heart honors, his trumps are poor and he has only one ace. Yes, this deal is a complement of yesterday’s. First, East signals enthusiastically with his diamond nine. West continues with his queen, then leads his third diamond. After winning with his ace, what should East do next? As I have been stressing all week, East should check the points. West has produced five, the dummy

has 14, and East holds six. That leaves 15 points unaccounted for. If West had the heart ace, he should have cashed it before playing the third diamond. So the defenders cannot have another side-suit trick. East should lead his last diamond. Here, that promotes a trick for West’s spade jack.

Flood water a concern for Lake Country

Black Press

With warmer daytime temperatures in the forecast, it’s expected more snow at the higher elevations will melt resulting in faster flows and rising levels of Lake Country creeks and streams. While there are currently no watches or advisories in effect, residents and property owners in low lying and flood prone areas are encouraged to take the steps they need to prepare and protect their properties as conditions can change rapidly during the spring runoff.

“The Central Okanagan Emergency Program, local governments and the province continue to monitor weather patterns and water levels of local creeks, streams and lakes,” said Bruce Smith, with the Regional District of Central Okanagan. Information and pamphlets on flood preparedness including a recommended method for sandbag diking are available from the RDCO office (1450 KLO Road) and the main City of Kelowna fire hall on Enterprise Way as well as at www.cordemergency.ca and pep.

bc.ca/floods/preparedness.html. Anyone noticing a potential problem or flooding concern in Lake Country is asked to call 250-469-8801. Sandbags are available at local fire halls for any property owner facing imminent danger from flooding. “Residents are asked to use caution around all local water bodies. People are reminded that water levels may rise unexpectedly and they and their pets should stay safely back from creek banks, which may be slippery or subject to erosion from the spring runoff,” said Smith.

Automated watering systems spur debate judie steeves Black Press

People used to water their lawns when the grass began to pale and turn yellow, but today’s lawns never get the chance to do that.

they’re different for spring and fall than for the heat of summer. Instead irrigation should be scheduled to account for seasonal differences, he noted. Most people also

don’t turn off their systems during rainy periods when irrigation is not needed, he noted. “Some education is needed,” said Zimmermann.

Families invited to celebrate mom at Fintry Spring Fair judie steeves Black Press

To celebrate Mother’s Day, the Friends of Fintry are organizing the annual Fintry Spring Fair Sunday with activities for everyone in the family. The fair is an annual fundraising event held to help support the organization’s efforts to maintain and restore the historic buildings in the Westside Road provincial park and to restore the manor house with items from its heyday, the early 1900s. FOF vice-president Michael Recknell said there will be

a display of fire fighting equipment as well as antique cars brought out by local car clubs. Local musicians will play from the verandah of the manor house and there will be a variety of booths showcasing plants, gardening information and arts and crafts. Youngsters will be invited to play organized games on the front lawn of the manor house and a barbecue, with celebrity chef, Lake Country Mayor James Baker, will be held from noon to 1:30 p.m. The fair will open at 10T:10” a.m. and continue to 4 p.m., with admission by donation.

Tours of both the manor house and the octagonal dairy barn will be by donation as well. This is one of three events the FOF plan to hold this year to help raise funds to continue with restoration work. Next will be the Fintry Summer Fair, celebrating B.C. Parks Day July 14, then the Fintry Fall Fair, with a trunk and tailgate sale Sept. 15. The FOF annual general meeting is June 15 at 10 a.m. in the manor house, and all members are welcome to attend.

NDP leader promises to scrap P3 agreements tom fletcher Black Press

NDP leader Adrian Dix has promised to repeal the remainder of Bill 29, the legislation that broke union contracts and allowed contracting out of health support services early in the B.C. Liberal term of government. Parts of that legislation were struck down in a 2007 ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada, and the government was forced to pay compensation and consult with unions before any further contracting out of services. In a pre-campaign interview with Guardian, the Hospital Employees’ Union magazine, Dix made no specific commitments. “We are going to need to improve and strengthen the public role if we are going to continue to provide a high level of service, given the federal cuts that are coming to health care in 2014-15,” Dix told the HEU publication. They’re not really cuts. After a string of six-per-cent increases, the growth of health care transfers is capped at four per cent starting next year. After signing a series of “net zero” contracts with various public service unions in the past year, the B.C. Liberals tabled an election budget proposing to hold health spending growth to two per cent this year. In 2008, the B.C. Liberal government passed amendments to comply with the court ruling that collective bargaining rights are constitutionally protected. The ruling didn’t reverse pay cuts, but ordered payment of $80 million in compensation and retraining, and required negotiations before any further contracting out of health care jobs. Judy Darcy, then secretary-business manager of the HEU and now the NDP candidate in New Westminster, said at the time that the

“We are going to need to improve and strengthen the public role.” — Adrian Dix

legislation allowed the government and the union to “move on and build some kind of a partnership.” Platform highlights: n The B.C. Liberals emphasize their legislative change to allow Licensed Practical Nurses to leave the HEU and join the B.C. Nurses’ Union. The party wants to “partner with hospice societies” to double the number of hospice beds by 2020. n The B.C. NDP distances itself from public-private partnerships to build and run hospitals. It promises to “accelerate” Surrey

Memorial Hospital’s critical care expansion “as a public project,” and Dix has said 30-year contracts are too long for health care facilities. n The B.C. Conservative platform criticizes the B.C. Liberals for spending less than the national average on health care, and for raising Medical Services Plan premiums. Party leader John Cummins has joined the B.C. Liberals and NDP in promising an expansion for the 63-year-old Penticton Regional Hospital. n The B.C. Green

black press file photo

Hospital construction and operation has moved to public-private partnerships under the B.C. Liberals. The NDP wants to change that. Party platform promises to “support development of co-ops and social enterprises for the provision of community-based health, social and education services.” It also wants to expand MSP coverage for chiropractic, physiotherapy, eye exams and massage therapy, and impose a junk food tax.

Rosemary Ellen Johnson March 28th, 1920 – May 5th, 2013

With great sadness we announce the passing of Rosemary Ellen Johnson (nee Bazell) in the North Okanagan Hospice at the age of 93 years. She brought us joy in life with her endless love. Through her nearly 62 years of marriage to our Dad Wes, she delighted in entertaining family and friends. The biggest loss in her life was that of son John. Her biggest joy was husband Wes, children, grandchildren and great-granddaughters. <niƫng was a giŌ Dom was given. Whenever Ɵme permiƩed or when travelling with Dad, the needles would be clicking (someƟmes with her eyes closed or she would be watching the scenery pass by). This led her to Įnd a new kniƫng paƩern for ͞Scotch Dolls͟, which she made with accurate tartan detail. She donated many to the sernon Jubilee Hospital Auxiliary, where they were sold to raise money for the Cancer Centre. Dom was the Įrst Navy WREN to leave sernon, and was in Hamilton waiƟng to be shipped overseas when the war ended. She worked as a switchboard operator at O< Tel, prior to leaving sernon. Dom was always willing to try something new. New places to travel, recipes to try, paƩerns to knit, plants for her lovely garden or craŌ project. At the age of 90 she received her Įrst computer and went on line, where she could be found on &acebook or 'oogling for informaƟon, and staying connected with family and friends in Canada, England and Holland. The coƩage at Dabel >ake brought years of pleasure to our family. &ishing was a favorite pasƟme for she and Dad, as were the nightly campĮres, singing and roasƟng marshmallows. She and Dad danced beauƟfully together, and for many years would go out every weekend. One of the most memorable was at her grandson’s wedding. She met friends at St. Hilda’s 'uild, the Diet Club (where she was proud to ͞turtle͟), or playing darts or crib at the >egion. >eŌ to mourn are husband Wes͖ daughters, Bernie, Darilyn (Blain) and >aurie͖ grandchildren, Christa (Dike), Rob and Dyles (<atrina)͖ and her ͞dolls͟ great-granddaughters, Calleigh and <aƟe. She was preceded in death by her son John in 1999͖ all her younger siblings, brothers Raymond and Ted͖ and by her sister Irene who died just 22 hours before Dom.

We love you Mom. God Bless. CremaƟon preceded the &uneral Service which will be held at Bethel &uneral Chapel on &riday, Day 10th, 2013 at 10͗30 A.D. with The Reverend Rita Harrison oĸciaƟng.

Budget eyes economic improvement

he 2013/14 budget was introduced March 21. I would like to report on key ways your government in Ottawa is spending your money. Your government has had a plan in place since the 2008 economic meltdown. Our economic action plan will provide jobs, growth, and prosperity for Canadians and balance the budget by 2015. Our plan is working by helping the business sector create 950,000 new jobs. We have the lowest debt to Colin Mayes GDP in the industrial world. During the global recession, we were the only country with no bank defaults. During the past couple of years, we have identified the

MP REPORT

largest threat to Canada’s prosperity — the lack of skilled workers to meet the needs of all sectors of our economy. The provinces and territories provide the trades and skills, apprenticeship programs, but more was needed to make the training seamless between provinces, and employers. Budget 2013/14 introduced the Canada Job Grant. This will make available $15,000 per year to help Canadians obtain the skills needed for in-demand jobs. This funding is a partnership between the provinces/territories, the federal government and employers, each providing $5,000 per year. To help First Nations youth fill job demands, we have budgeted $241 million to help them access the skills and training they need to participate in large economic projects, like those in the resource sector, near their communities.

BC nurses say

healthcare

safe staffing

• ensure nurses are replaced or added according to patients’ needs, not just budgets

• listen to nurses and trust our judgement about what patients need

• give nurses a key role in healthcare planning • use nurses to the fullest extent of their

knowledge and practice to improve services for British Columbians in primary healthcare, seniors’ care, rural communities and elsewhere

Help us hold our employers and the politicians accountable. Vote for candidates who commit to keeping the promise of safer care in our public healthcare system.

Further to this, your government has increased the funding for internships for recent post-secondary graduates by investing $70 million to support an additional 5,000 paid internships. People with disabilities have not been left out of this opportunity. Your government is providing funding to ensure accessibility is not a barrier to employment. As well, funding will be provided for educating employers of the opportunities to employ people with disabilities. Your government in Ottawa is doing everything to empower people to get a job, because we believe this is the effective way to lower unemployment and poverty not to mention supporting personal development for Canadians to be all that they can be. Colin Mayes is MP for Okanagan-Shuswap.
